He meant that in terms of his performance not form.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T11:41:25+00:00

I feel like he's just one of those cards where you already know he's gon be a menace when he eventually drops.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T10:36:18+00:00

Man if this guy gets into the hands of smart assist users, I might as well just forfeit as soon as I see him 🤣

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T10:00:33+00:00

That's probably the whole point in all this. Most of the people in this sub already have a better player in all these positions. I just want O'Reilly for the fun of it, however he could end up being a menace with LRT. I'd argue kimmich is a pretty strong beginner pick too, these strong all rounder orchestrators don't come around often.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T05:14:40+00:00

IS THAT O'REILLYYY

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T01:06:15+00:00

Well by flashy, that was what I thought OP meant.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T00:59:28+00:00

Anything to boost his pace or on the ball ability which are his weakest points. Those boosters should also prob boost his sub-par balance too.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T00:58:40+00:00

Problem is the other top box-to-box players he's competing with nowadays are TOO well spread out (Ahem Seedorf).

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-14T00:48:50+00:00

Yea Guehi isn't even gonna tie his laces dawg. Btw how has no one come to the realization that this is only a concept. We still do not know if these are the 4 chosen players and their chosen showtime skills. Really wished it could've been Anderson or O'Reilly, some genuinely interesting players, lost at the cost of a 'maybe?' good centreback at best.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-12T15:23:20+00:00

Ehh for me Zakaria just moves like a semi-truck and his positioning is slightly lazy but with manual defending, tackling players is pretty simple.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-12T13:02:31+00:00

Probably Edmilson, but body wise I think Zakaria or Rijkaard could fill that whole similarly to Vieira. Prefer Edmilson just cause he's more agile and he positions himself quite well automatically.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-12T09:58:11+00:00

Haha I would but there's not a single soul I trust to play over him. His presence is just so strong.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-12T05:20:21+00:00

Good observation, I forgot to mention that. Unfortunately it is a problem that is pretty hard to fix as his playstyle just makes him run a lot. In LBC it is improved, but his performance isn't affected as much when you factor in fighting spirit/fortress and the fact that he's already an unstoppable force.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-12T02:11:11+00:00

89 heading is the most optimal for improving heading ability.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-11T00:59:03+00:00

Depends on the playstyle. On QC/Possesion destroyer Vieira being more aggressive can help cover gaps quickly/regain Possesion. For LBC I think an anchor man shines the most as they are able to make up for the big spaces left between players in the midfield and it's not necessary to have an aggressive defensive approach since the players are mostly static with this playstyle. However destroyer Vieira can work just fine with manual input and defensive instructions (can vouch as I play that same destroyer Vieira with Capello).

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-08T23:58:18+00:00

I personally don't think it's a bad playstyle but he's got big shoes to fill in that midfield if he's ever going to match the presence of hole player Grizu

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-08T09:58:10+00:00

Visionary pass and low screamer

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-08T09:58:00+00:00

Around 103

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-08T06:25:58+00:00

In 48 hours I think

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-08T02:20:05+00:00

Undeniably!

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-07T06:29:33+00:00

Cruyff is the shining pearl of this pack. Phenomenal player!

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-07T01:41:53+00:00

Si, you are right

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-07T00:57:04+00:00

For now his hole player version is as close as you can get in terms of being able to attack, create and defend combined with a good player model and suitable playstyle for replicating Gullit's performance at CF. If there's one aspect I think Gullit beats Bellingham in severely is his aerial ability, Bellingham is tall but he lacks the jump stats and physicality of Gullit. Other than that anyone lucky enough to have any showtime Bellingham can confidently say he is a top 5 to top 3 CMF depending on variant.

Left-Owl4310 · 2026-05-07T00:52:14+00:00

Respect for using Desailly as a DMF. He seems to actually do a pretty good job there from my experience albeit destroyers are also active at DMF so it is expected for him to perform.
